👀 Wynton Marsalis has said about young Venezuelan performer Linda Briceño, “There is a weight in her sound. You either have it or you don’t, and it is very unusual for such a young person to have it the way she does.” 🌎 Brought up in the El Sistema music education system, she was a leader of the Simón Bolívar Big Band, one of the leading youth jazz ensembles in the world. in 2014, her first album, Tiempo, was nominated for two Latin Grammies, including Best New Artist. 🎺 So excited for Girls Jazz Sleepover next weekend (link in profile) when Linda is coming to teach! 🎶💪💓#jazzgirl #seattlejazz #seattlejazzed #linda #venezuela #elsistema #latingrammy #latingrammies #trumpet #womeninjazz #seattle #jazz #scholarship #girlpower

👀 So excited for Girls Jazz Sleepover next weekend (link in profile) and the fact that drummer Savannah Harris is coming to teach.🥁😍 Growing up in Oakland, CA, she learned drums at an early age, studying with her father Fred Harris and her step-father Khalil Shaheed. A member of the Howard University Jazz Ensemble, she has also performed independently with names such as Geri Allen and Marcus Belgrave. In 2014 she joined the world-renowned faculty at NJPAC’s All-Female Jazz Residency Week. #jazzgirl #seattlejazz #seattlejazzed #savannah #womeninjazz #seattle #jazz #scholarship #drummer #drums #girldrummer #girlpower💪
